Well that didn't last long. Any room down in the Housley hole guys? Is there a secret password?

Sam just had a 2pt game + GWG in the shootout with ERod and CJ Smith on his line, so lets blow that one up starting next practice. JFC.

Password is "2nd Period Breakdown"

I don't think that 4th line is better with Sobotka. He kills offense at almost every touch. 

The 4th line doesn't get played to score goals (should that happen, that's gravy); they get played to prevent goals.  Sobotka is better at that part of the game than is Thompson at present.  If Tage is on the 4th line it can't be played against the other team's top line which creates other isues with matchups.

And, truth be told, Okposo is a better option on the 4th line than either.  He's stronger & better offensively than Vlad; and he's far better at checking than Tage is (Tage's open ice (accidental?) hit on Koivu not withstanding.)

Perhaps it's like mad science.  You keep perfecting the formula until it's either optimal or blows up.

Weird Science ....then we could computer generate a perfect player.

It's a big hole and every game it gets bigger.

Who was on the ice for Sam's goal? Eichel, Mccabe, Sheary and Scandella.

Was thinking we should add a frustration room for screaming "wtf!?" At the top of our lungs

Its more like a hobbit hole and that means comfort.

The Sob that played in St. Louis may be this player you speak off, but the one I watch in a Sabre's sweater is not that at all. He's a turn over machine.

 

TT is not good in the d-zone, average may be pushing it, but he can skate and pass. Two things I don't believe Sob can do better than him.

Thompson will likely get better in his own end, but right now he is downright scary there.  Sobotka isn't a disaster there.  The 4th line is the only 1 I'd take Sobotka over Tage, but would definitely put him there ahead of Tage.  And, as stated earlier, would prefer Okposo on that line.

I have to ask the obvious. Is Phil Punxy Phil, and is your hole actually a burrow?
